The move comes as government departments accelerate efforts to improve their online services in line with the target set by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to provide 90 per cent of government services online and attain a utilisation rate of not less than 50 per cent.
The campaign is organised under the theme 'Making Life Easier'.
The various online services will help Dubai residents and visitors save time and money, while also boosting the efficiency rate of the government agencies incorporated into the web-based platform.
"Shifting the bulk of transactions and communication with the government to the online portal will bring great dividends both to the government and the public.
"It will save an enormous amount of resources, such as extra paperwork and eliminate unnecessary time in processing government services," said Salem Khamis Al Shair, eServices Director, Dubai eGovernment.
The public can access the online platform for a variety of purposes, such as finding critical business information.
The site also incorporates health card renewal and other health-related services, commercial and industrial information, court-related documents and services, utility bill payments, land transactions, traffic fine payments, car registration and licence renewal, visa processing, tenancy issues, flight and hotel information and marriage applications.
